bump bump, buuuump to theee tooop!!


thank u sir for ur attention to read this useless post :(

Where do we report? I went to the stopfilelockers site and don't see anything direct. Just use the contact form? I found what appears to be, a biggie. I tried the form. Not working in FF or IE.

The site, http://www.sammyboyforum.com/index.php

I'll be the first to admit it will never be "stopped." It has always been here, it always will be. So that I want to be clear. No one will stop piracy. However, it can be contained to a manageable point.

I think the reason Paypal is reluctant to take actions against FileLockers as a whole is that it would highly profit to their competitors (Webmoney, etc) in terms of market share...

Agreed..

Untrue. Paypal's brand is more valuable to them than relationships that bring the brand into disrepute. They are extremely brand risk sensitive and have had no problem terminating relationships based on that sensitivity.

tuesday bump

Definitely at the moment it is more popular the topic of Google will delist DMCA infringing sites. Even if that will just move traffic from google to other search engines, not reduce piracy.

Filestay.com lost their Paypal account (again) thanks to Met-Art anti-piracy team.

And yet another quality kill by Met AP - livefile.org can no longer accept payments through Paypal.

hope that's the total true

More Indians won't be eating this week. LOL

Met-Art AP is on fire. Great start to the week.

That being the case, what is it going to take for Paypal to just eliminate processing for all file lockers. They seem to have had no qualms about putting a blanket ban on all legit adult sites so why not on the far worse cousin? If they deny knowledge of the file locker's primary purpose for existence then maybe they really do secretly want to keep some of that dirty money.

I suspect 100 to 1 or worse. As an adult site with several hundred affiliates I have to assume that the average membership site might have as many as 200 active affiliates. Then of all the membership sites how many of those actually produce all their own content as opposed to buying their content? Maybe the pushers to producers ratio is more like 1000 to 1.

Very nice.

Would make a great poll.

Producers to resell.

Producers for self.

Traffic pushers.

Others.

Paypal have consistently said they aren't going to disallow file lockers with their AUP. I disagree with them, however given the business model of sites like DropBox I can see their point of view.

The key here is to identify file lockers that deliberately take advantage of the DMCA takedown revolving door.

If a file locker is serious about cleaning up it's act then it can simply prohibit anyone from posting to warez and piracy sites, if it did that and deleted files placed on such sites then it would become very difficult for the pirates.

We'll act on any site which is seen to be supported by or promoting the use of their service by pirates.

Start it... just cross your fingers DamianJ doesn't hijack the damn thread... :1orglaugh

Well said.

Yes, these file lockers rely heavily on the revolving DMCA loophole.
In the heyday about a 1-2 years ago apparently some of the filelockers would simply delete pointers to the files and an uploader just had to reset them.

Many of them are still doing exactly that.

This is precisely what happens with many sites now. It's not a thing of the past.

Oh..... well I apologize for not keeping tabs on this :1orglaugh

It makes business sense to them, less bandwidth to burn and tons of time saved on the uploader end.

Precisely, it's STILL on their servers despite my DMCAs requesting they remove or delete content they do not own or to remove repeat infringers for peristant violations as per their writen ToS etc...

Some do, and the pirates move on or use them less.
I am finding that Rapidgator is now the biggest offender in the above respect but will remove content reasonably quickly when you badger them so the chances of some making their 1000 hits is rare if you are on top of it. Any filelocker helping pirates to re upload immediately despite their Md5 hash (block file) promises they make should be targeted.


I'm sure a lawyer on a no win no fee basis could have a field day withthese if some of us pooled together
I know in our niches a few of us spanking producers try to help each other out and have considered this as a real possibility. Our niche is that concentrated that those that site rip our content really do it harm.

Pool together which is a term used for 10 years now. Never gonna happen bro. Adapt or die.

It will get hijacked by DJ and other idiots.

DMCA is like using a spoon to dig a tunnel though the Rockies. It's proven to be completely useless. The easiest way to curb a lot of piracy is to amend it. Seems the Internet needs more regulations, not less.

Found that gem on download page of stolen movie, so apparently now is completely legal and safe to steal:

So not DMCA compliant. They're checking the uploads.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Just checking in to see how the good work is progressing. AWESOME ADULT KING!

Bump for this great cause

Bump for the cause

Another bump. Keep up the good work.

Filesmonster has a revenueshare programm for uploading content. I actually thought Adultking was running it or is affiliated with it.

What made you think that ? You are wrong and obviously trolling.

I am involved with no file locker services, so take your crap elsewhere.

Man relax. I just thought that because your using the same font and almost the same logo for CopyControl as they do on content cooperation. If there wasn´t that illegal content on there lately it would have been a good idea, don´t you think? It looked promissing I thought.

We believe that the following file sharing, video sharing, video streaming, piracy, link shortening sites, resellers and enabling services have been had their Paypal accounts terminated between 2nd August 2012 and 16th August 2012.

We believe that all these sites have been terminated by Paypal in the last 2 weeks. We do not believe any of them may process through Paypal again, however Paypal always deals with these matters on a case by case basis.

NOTES Copy Control does not claim responsibility for these or any other Paypal terminations. Many organisations work to deal with infringing sites. Some of these sites may have been reported earlier then re-reported as they continued to process with Paypal. This information is current at the time of publication and is subject to change.

LOL! Now you guys are going after link shortening sites? Boy, Am I glad I never got involved with you guys. I could fathom the thought of stooping so low as to go after a link shortening site. You guys must be pretty bored with nothing better to do...or desperate to add to the list.

what link shortening sites? not sure i can find it in the list, but i am interested...

As per the statement made by AK: "We believe that the following file sharing, video sharing, video streaming, piracy, link shortening sites, resellers and enabling services have been had their Paypal accounts terminated between 2nd August 2012 and 16th August 2012."

The sites that we targeted were sites that were largely supporting piracy sites such as piracy forums and blogs. It's all part of cutting off the money supply. If piracy or warez forums are earning income from the affiliate programs of links shortening sites then those link shortening sites become targets.

With each one in this list the primary flow of money seemed to be piracy related.
